Improvements in iCloud performance

iCloud Sync Perfomance boost 5-50 times faster

Accelerated iCloud Transfers
We’ve made significant optimizations that increase transfer speeds to and from iCloud by a factor of 5 to 50. This means you save significant time when synchronizing your data, making your work with SimpleumSafe even smoother and more efficient.
Delete all data from iCloud
At customer request, we have introduced a new feature that allows you to safely and completely remove all data from iCloud (CloudKit). This offers an additional level of data control and security and you can, for example, delete all old Safes before creating new Safes.
Faster integrity check
The iCloud sync verification option has been improved by speeding up the integrity check. This contributes to faster verification.
More efficient deletion of Safes
Removing a Safe from iCloud (when deleting a Safe) is now faster, making it easier to manage your Safes and saving time.

Implemented customer requests

Improved icon view
We have simplified access to the zoom slider and column selection in the icon view to give you more flexible and convenient navigation.
Sorting by creation date
In Icon View, you can now also sort your files by their creation date, helping you organize your files even faster and more intuitively.
Advanced file viewer
The standalone file viewer has been expanded so that all files in the same folder can now be viewed in addition to the previously selected files. This makes viewing and managing your files much easier.

Bug fixes

Delete password button
We fixed a bug that resulted in the clear password button being unavailable if the password was entered incorrectly.
Drag & Drop stability improved
A rare crash that occurred when dragging and dropping file types not known on macOS has been fixed.
Biometric login icon fix
An issue where the TouchID icon was incorrectly displayed when using biometric sign-in with Apple Watch has been corrected. The correct icon will now be displayed, reducing confusion.

SimpleumSafe 3.3 Mac - Release Notes

10-30-2023

New: Optional 2-factor authentication (2FA)

Double Layer Security: Increase security even further with an additional layer. After the password or biometric verification, 2FA intervenes as a second line of defense and requires a unique six-digit code. It is a double check to ensure your safe remains protected.
Advanced Security: The biggest advantage of the 2FA feature is its ability to provide an additional layer of security, making unauthorized access extremely difficult. It’s not just about what you know (your password), but also what you have (your second factor).
Dynamic Protection: The One Time Password (OTP) is not static; It is a moving target that changes every 30 seconds. This dynamic thwarts any malicious attempt to crack your Safe.
User-Friendly: The six-digit OTP is simple and effective, offering the perfect balance between ease of use and security. And since the OTP changes every 30 seconds, the risks of static passwords are eliminated.
Compliance and Best Practices: Implementing 2FA aligns with global cybersecurity best practices and can help meet compliance requirements, which is critical for professionals and businesses.
Affordable Security: Since no additional hardware is required, this feature is an affordable security upgrade. Your smartphone is your second factor, there are no additional costs.
Ensuring your security for the future: As cyber threats evolve, so should your security measures. The 2FA feature is a step towards securing your digital safe against emerging threats.

Enable 2-factor authentication (2FA).

In security settings, check the option to enable 2-factor authentication.
QR code generation:

When 2FA is activated, a QR code is generated. This QR code is your gateway to establishing a 2FA connection.
Alternative setup via 2FA key:

If you prefer a manual setup or scanning the QR code is not possible, a 2FA key will also be generated alongside the QR code. Simply enter this key manually into your OTP generator app to configure OTP generation.

Set up and use two-factor authentication
